Description
Kaddy Benyon's second collection, The Tidal Wife, is concerned with islands: both as physical landforms and as emotional states; the need to retreat and be cut off as much as the need to reconnect and come to trust the pulse of one's internal tide. The poems address the day-to-day realities of being wife, mother, daughter, poet while drawing on nature's rage and beauty to describe the shifting states of 'I'.
